Awesome work! Can we distribute in the foundation?

Hey all,

Not sure if this would be interesting to researchers or community members, but: you might remember a paper Stuart and Aaron did a while ago about measuring edit sessions - http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~halfak/publications/Using_Edit_Sessions_to_Measure_Participation_in_Wikipedia/geiger13using-preprint.pdf

To me it's really interesting, because it's (as much as anything else) a new metric for measuring participation, and a metric we can extract additional metrics from (e.g., session length).

As part of some related work on /reader/ sessions, I wrote a pile of code to handle session reconstruction. I've generalised it (it doesn't care if you've got reader timestamps, editor timestamps, or best buy receipt timestamps) and thrown it up at https://github.com/Ironholds/reconstructr . I figure it could be useful to any researchers or community members looking into sessions.

Thanks,
